Methods and systems for depth-based foveated rendering in the display system are disclosed. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes using different wavefront divergence. Some embodiments include determining a fixation point of a user's eyes. Location information associated with a first virtual object to be presented to the user via a display device is obtained. A resolution-modifying parameter of the first virtual object is obtained. A particular resolution at which to render the first virtual object is identified based on the location information and the resolution-modifying parameter of the first virtual object. The particular resolution is based on a resolution distribution specifying resolutions for corresponding distances from the fixation point. The first virtual object rendered at the identified resolution is presented to the user via the display system.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
5. The wearable display system of claim 1, wherein the zone that includes the fixation point is associated with a maximum resolution supported by the wearable display system.
6. The wearable display system of claim 1, wherein the fixation point is in a zone that is approximately at a center of the FOV.
8. The wearable display system of claim 7, wherein modifying the presentation of the virtual object includes adjusting at least one of the associated resolution, size, position, or geometry of one or more of the plurality of zones.
9. The wearable display system of claim 7, wherein modifying the presentation of the virtual object includes blurring the virtual object through application of a blurring process.
14. The method of claim 10, wherein the zone that includes the fixation point is associated with a maximum resolution supported by the wearable display system.
15. The method of claim 10, wherein the fixation point is in a zone that is approximately at a center of the FOV.
17. The method of claim 16, wherein modifying the presentation of the virtual object includes adjusting at least one of the associated resolution, size, position, or geometry of one or more of the plurality of zones.
18. The method of claim 16, wherein modifying the presentation of the virtual object includes blurring the virtual object through application of a blurring process.
